Baked apricots stuffed with cottage cheese in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. For stuffing, it's best to use thick, large apricots that can be easily separated. The cottage cheese should be dense; otherwise, the filling will leak out of the apricot pockets after filling and cooking. You can decorate the apricots not only with chocolate but also simply by dusting them with powdered sugar. The ready dessert can now be served.
